Things that make ya go hhhmmmmmm........

Its said that those who dont learn from history, repeat it. Have you ever wondered why as humans, we havent learned those lessons yet? Just think how much more wonderful life would be if we only had to fall just once? Would it change our walk with the Lord for the better or the worse?
About the time I think all the past short-comings and hard learned lessons, have been put to memory, and life has moved on,I am reminded how wrong I am. Its so frustrating to 'see the answer', and others dont see it. Then you have to wonder if you really have the 'right' answer.It all seems so clear, but that answer isnt to be.
Maybe, its a grounding reminder, that I am not all grown up after all. That I am still a part of my earthly family, and that no matter how I wish it wasnt so, I am needed by them. And that truthfully, I still need them. WOW-now thats a big girl pill.
After all the things tonight that keep me saying hhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm, I am just thankful to love, to be loved. Knowing if the Lord has brought me back here again, theres more here for me to learn. Thankfully, theres no limit on falling down.

I made it :D

YEAH ME!!! I made it :D Now that I am here, I'll look around get some ideas, and get my page moving. I've been meaning to do this for a while, and have kept putting it off. As silly as it seems I just couldnt think of the right title. Then it just kinda came to me, I have prayed more in the last few months, then I ever thought I would.Not just praying, but getting honest, no holds barred prayer and answer time with my Lord. God is so good, he knew actually what I was going to need, and provided beyond my wildest dreams.
I had a couple of friends and family members tell me that I do too much, that I really needed to back out and enjoy my life. Then I was sitting in church last week and Pastor Mark gave us our 'homework', well its always more like 'lifework'.
This was it:Fill in the blanks for YOUR life..."God made me ____________ , (or) God has given me __________ ......And when I _____________, I feel His pleasure!"
As soon as I heard it I knew my answers: God made ME to be a servant, God has given ME a servants heart/ability. And when I serve, I feel His pleasure.
Amazing how just a few simple words could clear up so much for me.
